Really. Genius. Defraud many rich guys a little bit each, and ensure that nobody has the incentives to really fight and chase the fraud.

The guy essentially realized that this type of fraud is really behaving like a parasite within a much bigger ecosystem. And it is a parasite that is so costly to remove that it makes sense to leave it there. As long as the parasite does not annoy the host too much, things will be fine.

Only if fraud becomes really big there will be the real incentive to fight advertising fraud. Until then, you know how to make \$500K/month..
